A guy today challenged me for a STRAIGHT line PICKUP race on a 1 mile straight road. He has a Mustang V6 convertible and he has Nitrous Oxide on it and i think thats is it he doesn't haev any other MODS. I have a STOCK IS300 do you guys think i can beat him ? I know i can beat him on a Highway or some where his NITROUS will run out but what about Straight Road? PLS he wants to bet money and I LOVE TO GET it so i can do some mods on my IS so pls suggest all the BIG GUYS.

Take a friend with you and ask to see his N2O setup before you race, act all interested and tell him how cool it is, jokingly tell him you want to see under the hood to make sure it not a debadged GT or some sleeper. You or your buddy need to distract him for just a moment and either clip one of the solenoid wires or close the bottle. You should be able to beat him with the N2O disabled. Good luck...HEHE

, what if he clips the fuel solenoid and not the nitrous one, he is gonna kill that guys motor, i don't think that the guy deserves that just for wanting to race.

i wouldn't do it for money, it also depends on how big of a shot he is running. if it's for a mile stretch it's worth a shot because if he runs on NOS for taht long he's going to do some pretty bad engine damage. v6 mustangs aren't that fast so again it'd depend on what size shot he has and waht the car's top speed is etc....

Don't mess with the dude's car... it ain't worth it, man. He just wants to race. I doubt you'd take him with the NOS especially if he runs a lot. So... don't race. There. That's my opinion. Why does the gashead have to use his stupid laughing gas anyway?

Not to sound like an a-hole...but this has to be one of the stupidist and most immature posts I have read!! C'mon!! Is it really worth chancing a big speeding ticket and possibly wrecking your car to show up some loser in a Mustang? Why not go to a local drag strip, pay $20 to register and race there! Be smart about the whole thing and in the process maybe you will learn something about racing. I have had and seen to many friends play silly games on the street only to be sorry later. The latest: a friend of mine who owns an Audi S4 and an Integra Type R. The Type R was his track car, but he HAD to show off on the street and what happened? Flipped it.

You have a $35K Sport Sedan...it totally outclasses, outdrives and out handles the Mustang...you should not even give it the time of day let alone the "ohh lets race for money" routine.

I still think you should take it to a real drag strip. If the challenge is THAT big od a deal, make sure there is no if,ands or buts about who wins...let the computer tell you. Plus, like I said, you will learn something by going to the strip.

are you kiddin me, street racing is very fun, and although it isn't the safest thing, if you are smart about it, the only people that will be put in danger is you and the other driver. we race at the end or route 70 @ 695 and at 2am, there is no one there except for the flagger, the 2 cars and the people that watch, who can stand behind a 2 foot thick cement jersey wall for protection. screw the track, that strip is open every night, doesn't cost anything and is more spontaneous, plus a rechallenge can happen immediately, not after all the other lanes run, and you happen to get to line up with eachother again.
maybe i just need to grow up and grow out of this, but i love street racing.

i'm giong back to the length of the stretch you're talking about. a mile is a pretty long distance especially for a street? maybe it's just me but here in cali there ARE no streets that long without stoplights etc. if you decide to take the race be careful and be prepared to be sitting there at 145mph or whatever the top speed is for the last stretch if the IS is as fast as i think it is

ah, it is kinda improv for times, but everyone meets up at the burger king off of northern parkway and walbash avenue on saturday night. it isn't so good during the winter, as it is too cold to sit outside and bullsh't. if you are still interested in meeting me up there closer to spring/summer, let me know and i will meet you there. it's pretty cool.

what will you be bringing?

Years ago, my trunk took some effort to close, now it slams close with no effort at all. Anyone fixed this? I want to return to the soft close.
Sorry, I am asking the question before I have really dug into it on the car. Just thought maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you...

Does anyone else have an extra wire in their wire bundle after the connector for B2S1 sensor? I just replaced my sensor and noticed my wire after the connector got a little melted from touching the manifold. When I cut back the tape on in, I noticed an extra bare wire not connected to anything...

I have a 03 is300 with 166k on it and i bought it and the guy had replaced the headgasket and timed it just didn't put the radiator back in and stuff like that. Well i got it and i wanted to do a compression test and im not getting any at all i have all the other gaskets and stuff from the head...
